A simple fabric bow tutorial

I've been making a ton of these. My girls can't get enough. Every time I stitch up a new one they fight over who gets to wear it. Oh the simple joys of young girlhood. I've been using them in the chiclets' hair but you could do all sorts of things with them like: shoe clips, brooches, cuffs, embellish a belt, or a top, or anything you want a bow on! Also, play around with the size. The finished bow is about 4-1/2 inches wide and 3 inches tall. As my Zumba instructor always says, "make it your own." (she mostly says that because some of us really can't wiggle our hips.) But seriously, put your own flavor into what you make and you'll love it!

Arrange your bow like this then tack in place.

Easy peasy right?! I'd love to see what you all are up to "bow" wise, hence the linky party down below.....link up, have fun, and make some bow-full things!
